An update doesn’t necessarily mean a better performance. I have updated my LG g pro e988 to kitkat,and since it has been a real pain in the a**.
A better calibrated Os for particular hardware is more desired, which makes most use of available resources without being an intolerable burden on hardware.

After update battery life has increased a bit.
But overall the performance is reduced.
If you turn off the power saving, you can increase the performance at the cost of reduced battery backup.
